We've got our final list of $500 PC parts. The grand total with tax and shipping: $492.98!

Nicolaus is right: an AMD 64 X2 5200+ would also make a great CPU for our $500 PC. Patrick just wants the chance to overclock the heck out of Intel's 4500. (We're going for a 40% overclock!)

Looking for a way to subscribe to Tekzilla and other video podcasts without using iTunes? Check out Miro. Great way to automatically download, not to mention serach for, video shows online. Your mileage w/ the player might very; some folks find it less stable than others. Thanks for emailing in the idea, Ephryn!

How much will next gen DVD players cost this season? Think $200 to $500, if you missed Walmart's $99 selloff of Toshiba's HD-A2. (You can still pick it up for $200 - $250.

Sony's PS3 is no longer the cheapest Blu-ray option. Sony's BDP-S300 is down to $350 if you shop carefully. For the money we'd rather use the PS3 or Samsung's BDP-1200, tho!

We've got info on what the next step up price wise, along w/ LG's BH100, aka the Super Blu on the show.

Jessica's Code Red: Kody at Apple Service has a possible fix for Jessica's problem child Macbook Pro: it's Resetting the SMC and it fixed it!

Dusan's got a good point: we should do our Black Friday show earlier! We certainly will next year.

Patrick went ballistic and replaced all the batteries in his house with rechargables... he should be able to recharge 'em at least 500 times, according to Energizer.

Datarobotics Drobo vs. Buffalo TeraStation Pro II: Saeed wants to know what the differences are between the Drobo and a more traditional RAID NAS. First off, there's no networking in the Drobo... it's USB only. Second, Datarobotics says Drobo doesn't use RAID, tho it does have a lot of the nifty characteristics of a RAID 5. Most important: Drobo's dead simple to maintain... if you can read lights, you can keep it running.

Oh, btw, Drobo can use mixed sizes of hard drives without wasting capacity. The trade off? It's probably a bit slower than the TeraStation... we'd love to benchmark 'em both.
